I'm jumping back into the hobby after a few years away, with a brand new setup for mostly SPS corals. T-5's were the thing last reef I kept. The setup and all the equipment were sort of an impulse buy after watching the 'practical reef' videos. I went with the Red Sea Reefer Deluxe, 65 gallon with the two Hydra 26 LED's. After the purchase I realized he's running 3x Hydra 52's, which is significantly more light. Currently the setup is sitting empty in my office and am not sure if I should un-box the lights yet, rendering them used.

TL-DR - Does anyone have any opinions on whether or not the 2x Hydra 26's will be enough lighting to grow my SPS again in a red sea reefer 250? Thank you for input.
